This is the first time since 2004 I couldn't attend the TICO Airshow since I had to go out of town. I was watching the weather and looked like a big storm was heading towards Titusville - I had heard that MCO had 86 mph winds, Orlando Executive where I work had a 62 mph wind gust and there was hail and even tornados. Hopefully they got the planes out of the way of the storm. I know they couldn't tow the museum pieces back to the hangar in time for the fast moving storms so hopefully everything is ok there.


I was in Orlando at abut 3:00 pm and got hit by this storm, heavy winds and huge hail. I couldn't see the sides of the bridge over the lake to the southwest side of Orlando Exec when I was driving over it. Guess the blimp made it OK- as I saw it moored tonight. My wife's co-worker said a tornado touched down on South Orange Ave (as he had to pull off the road and find cover to avoid it...found out it was a tornado when he got to work). By 3:30 pm I was back out in Oviedo and went through the same storm front again. I could see the front edges of it hitting TICO by around 3:45 pm or so.....haven't heard from any friends who were at TICO yet.

yeah I work at Orlando Exec, but I am up in Mich now. I would have actually been coming on duty about the time the storm hit. Was there any damage there? The Met Life Blimp is supposed to be at Exec during the extent of Arnold Palmer golf tournament. I saw a picture on one of the Orlando news sites where DeVoss's new BBJ (former Dolphin's BBJ) got blown into a hangar at MCO.

Well I guess the good news is if we aren't hearing of any warbird damage at TICO, then nothing bad happened there. I figure a lot of the planes got out of the area as they saw the storms crossing the state.
